It's Getting Real

I've got three words for ya'll... "It's getting real." Just yesterday, we purchased three brand-spanking-new rolling duffle-bags. But of course they wounldn't be complete without 3 adorable luggage tags--mine is in a buckle shape and blue with pink edges. I also bought an eye-mask and ear plugs for a more relaxing sleep! After my mom got a new make-up bag, we all have our own unique one. Also, we went to Target and acquired a few necessary staple items. If that wasn't good enough, I just recieved an e-mail forwarded from my dad with flight information. In exactly 2 weeks and 6 days, on May 12th, we'll be boarding a plane at 1:30 P.M. After being contained to a cramped up, small breathing area, with few moveable inches for 10 or so hours we'll finally arrive in Londan. If that isn't bad enough, at 8:50, after barely an hour of walking around, we'll hop on our next flight to Milano, which lasts close to 2 hours long. From there we'll be picked up and swiftly ushered to Como, about an hours drive away. All said and done, we'll be at our final destination at around 1:00 P.M. on May 13th (nearly 24 hours after leaving the San Fransico airport, as well as beloved America).

7) Whenever possible, ride up on the bumper of the car in front of you and draft it. Bikes do it why shouldn't you.


8) When you go to the grocery store... bring your own bags. This apparently saves on the landfill waste. But to make up for the reduction, milk and juice are packaged in containers which will survive a nuclear blast. Really, all that will be left are the the cockroaches and the milk containers.
